Excerpt from The Christian Library, Vol. 8: A Reprint of Popular Religious Works
It would be easy (and as useless as easy) to de pict these faults and defects. It would be still easier, and more useless, to condemn them. They can only be reproved with effect, by what can cure them effectually. Nothing but the remedy provided for them in the gospel, can bring home their sin or folly to the heart. It is only when we see, from the designs of grace, and from the cha reeter of glory, what we ought to be, and what we may be, that we acknowledge, even to ourselves, what we really are. It is when confronted with the image of Christ and the image of the Hea verily, that we become alarmed at the earthy features of our own image. No light, but the light of eternity, can expose our faults fully, and yet set us to correct them willingly, at the same time. We may yield partly to human influence but nothing less than Divine authority, and that only in its paternal spirit and eternal sanctions, can sway our inclinations.

This book brings to light and explores the common religious experience of feeling timid and doubting one's faith, a feeling often dismissed as a sign of spiritual weakness. Here, the author calls to question this dismissal, and reveals the rich and subtle shades of faith that can exist alongside feelings of fear and inadequacy. Drawing from a myriad of sources both ancient and modern, the author opens up this overlooked aspect of spirituality and encourages readers to appreciate the full spectrum and complexity of their own beliefs. By recovering and examining these beliefs, the author enriches our approach to faith and bolsters our understanding of its role in our lives.
